Publisher's Synopsis
In Leading with Your Gut, Dr. Townsend explores the critical role of the leader's internal world-the world of passion, emotions, intuition, creativity, values, self-awareness, conscience, and spiritual life. Unveiling links between personal and organizational success or failure and the contents of a leader's heart, Dr. Townsend shows that leaders excel not just through skills and smarts but by connecting with others using competencies like curiosity, attention, reality assessment, distortion detecting, relationship building, ownership, and living with ambiguity. A leadership book only a world-respected psychologist could have written, Leading with Your Gut is revolutionary in its insight.
